This past week I discovered an awesome little comic called Lewis’s Life. It’s quite different from anything else out there that I’ve stumbled upon, which makes it really hard to narrow down what exactly makes the comic so special. I’m going to try anyway.
First of all, the art can be pretty delightful. It reminds me of my days in middle school where spirals were primary doodling devices and secondarily note containers. I’ve found myself doodling more in class since I started reading the …

So much of what I feel has no basis in the real world. It’s all in my head. Rarely are the things I fear real. Oftentimes the things I should fear, I am completely unaware of. Simple things like how much sleep I’ve gotten will shadow my perception of how other people feel. If I’m feeling chipper, then I feel like other people want to be around me. If I’m feeling like crap, I feel like people don’t really want …

Lately I’ve been thinking about all the time I spend doing things that just waste time. I waste so much time doing activities and spending time with people that don’t give me any real satisfaction.
Over the break I was at a friend’s apartment. I had an ok time, but at one point in the evening I realized that I really didn’t enjoy being with those people. We weren’t interested in the same things in life. They had different priorities and …

I was talking to an old friend recently. She was in love with this boy. Hearing her talk about him, he seemed like a cool guy. One of those people you’d like to be friends with. She talked about how he said all these things that at the time she didn’t understand and could only appreciate later.
She was outside with him.
The sky was beautiful. It was the type of sky that only comes around every once in a while. When …

Citizen Kane is supposedly the greatest film ever made. More people are probably aware of this fact than have actually sat down to watch it. My dad is one of those people who likes to watch a good movie. Mention No Country for Old Men or The Straight Story and he’ll start chatting excitedly about why he loves those films. He decided to sit down and watch Citizen Kane and it didn’t really do anything for him. Some might say …

Noah is an electrical engineering at UTD. I met him at a party of a mutual friend and was impressed with his intelligence and strong stance on Christianity. I decided to interview him on his stances and allow him to address some of the issues raised in the previous interview. The result is lengthy but interesting and I believe worth taking the time to read.

Original Audio can be found here. I sound pretty bad in this, with lots of stuttering. Wouldn’t recommend listening to it, but it’s there if you want it.
Landan: Ok, I’m here with my good friend David and I’ve been doing a series on the relationship between science and religion. David is someone who used to belong to the Christian religion until he moved to atheism. So I think he can bring a unique perspective to this topic. So…David
David: Yes.
Landan: In …

The Hurt Locker is a war movie, but not in the same way that Saving Private Ryan is a war movie. This film has an episodic structure rather than a large overarching plot, which places the emphasis on character. This is a very good thing. This isn’t to say that you won’t be left gripping your seat, because you will. The moments of heart stopping tension just pass by more quickly and come more frequently than in your typical war …

I’m trying to teach myself html, CSS, and PHP to hopefully get a nicer and more professional layout to this blog. Hopefully those changes will be coming soon. Unfortunately that means that my blogging won’t be as regular as I’d hoped to have it at this point. I’m going to try and start hammering out a quality post everyday. Feedback from my readers (assuming any of you guys are still around) is much appreciated. Tell me what you like and …

Christianity currently finds itself in the midst of an interesting transition. Young people have shown a greater willingness to leave behind their parents’ religious traditions than they have in the past. This is due in large part to the growing minority of the non-religious and an increased social acceptance of atheism (source 1, 2 ). Still, the majority of children who grow up in evangelical households will maintain their Christian identity, although often in a form that looks significantly different …
